After a very long period of hot weather in Tenerife we had a little much needed rain but it was only a little. This is the first time to my knowledge that the Canarian authorities were talking about water restrictions, hopefully we will get more rain to make water restrictions unnessasary.

Our new Maintenance man Nicano has settled in very well and is proving to be a good asset to our community, carry on the good work Nicano.

The end of our financial year was at the end of March and the Accountant is busy auditing the accounts in order for us to send out the notification for the AGM on May 17th. Yet again we have managed to work within our budget and apart from a few, most owners are happy, but I learnt a long time ago you can’t please all the people all the time.

My time as President is now coming to an end, after 15 years as I made çlear at the last AGM I am not standing again instead I will be taking things easy and passing the job over to someone else. Steve who has been vice president for some years is intending to stand and i will support him and help him in any way I can.

I am proud of what has been achieved over my period as President, we have carried out many large maintenance projects and cosmetic changes, all of this has been achieved whilst keeping a healthy bank balance. Also we have got debtors down to an all time low, this has been brought about in spite of an economic downturn and Covid. I wish to thank all owners for their help in paying their fees on time allowing us to go through the 15 year period with no increase in community fees whatsoever. I think even our critics must recognise that achievement

I wish to thank our cleaning staff Matilda and Yanira for their many years of tirelessly mopping and cleaning the community areas at the Heights, I get many comments from owners about how clean the complex always looks and I congratulate them on that. My thanks also go out to our night porters, who over the years have helped various people in emergency situations and kept noise and drunken behavior to a minimum, despite often being threatened and verbally abused. With their help we have seen many undesirable residents/owners ‘decide’ to leave the complex making it a much nicer place to live for those that remain.

Please get your proxys back as soon as possibie when you receive your notification of the AGM.
Thank you all and regards Paul
